[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I actually returned the Women's Freedom Jacket (it was too tight under my arms with a heavy sweater on ). But, I traded it in for the Men's Freedom Jacket which was much roomier for me. I am very pleased with it so far as for roominess when wearing a heavy sweater underneath. So far have only worn it in pouring rain & it held up really well. Unfortunately, since I just bought it recently, it hasn't gotten cold enough here in New England to test it in that type of weather. I'm sure it will handle the cold really well as my past jackets from the North Face have done. I'm very pleased with it.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I wore this jacket to Finnish Lapland in February. I wore 2 other TNF layers and a sweater and this kept me warm in - 22 celsius cold weather with wind. It was perfect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am a short person, 5'1". My arm length is on the short side given my height. Some coat's sleeves run long, but usually only by an inch or 1.5 inches. The sleeves of this goes pass my fingertips by an additional 1+ inch. While returning, the salesperson said this jacket's sleeves is meant to go to mid-hand or base of fingers and cover the ski gloves well but not as long as how it fitted on me. Just not meant for me.
For me this is a great everyday jacket from October thru April. Lightweight but warm, inside snapping layer to keep out the chilly winds, a great hood to use when it rains or snows, really waterproof. Not too long. Easy to zip. Lots of pockets on the outside and inside. Sleeves are plenty long, with Velcro tighteners. Looks great too - little bit fitted, but room for a thick sweater. Perfect.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket was bought for my trips to Big Sky Mt. it is always very cold there. This jacket worked great for my trip at Christmas. It is thinner lining but it was very warm and wind resistant. It is a ski jacket but I use for just outdoors wear. I love all the pockets and the longer length than normal jackets. The fit was great ordered using the size chart.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love this jacket so much bought one for my daughter. I have a longer torso and this jacket is just the right length. Warm enough with just a light layer but plenty of room to add more without the bulk. Got this to replace my previous NF jacket that's 12 years old! Still going strong, hopes this one last just as long.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My daughter has issues with hives when she gets too cold. We bought her this jacket because she was going away with another family and wanted to avoid the embarrassment for her. She was so warm that she never worried about her hives. It wasn't bulky and she was super comfortable.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This jacket is very lightweight and thin but blocks the wind really well and keeps me warm. One thing I hate about winter coats is how bulky they are, but this one is not. It has a lot of convenient pockets and I'm sure they are even more convenient when skiing or snowboarding.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Loved the fit and warmth, and color pairing, but the tan stomach area of the jacket just ends up being unflattering. It made me look pregnant and I am far from it. The rear color choices are fine, but the front needs to be rethought. Otherwise, would've kept this jacket.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Seems like a great ski jacket. I like the snow skirt, the sleeve pocket with goggle wipe, the large hood, the pit zips are great to help regulate temperature, and that the jacket is insulated to keep you warm on the lift. The fit is great with room for layering.
